Trans Manga: ‘Wandering Son’ or ‘Hourou Musuko’

by Ami B. Kaplan, LCSW on February 4, 2011

After the previous post on SNL’s shameful portrayal of transsexuals I thought I’d give an example of something really great.

Wandering Son (‘Hourou Musuko’ in Japanese) is a book and video series in the Japanese Manga tradition about the wishes and longings of gender variant school kids. I won’t describe it further here since you can watch for yourself. The first four episodes are up at crunchyroll.com with English subtitles.
